Linked Scan at Constant B[1-(E/E0)]^1/2 / E true MS:1000333 MS This child of the former purgatory term linked scan was made obsolete. OBSOLETE A linked scan performed on a sector instrument that incorporates at least one electric sector plus one magnetic sector placed in either order. The accelerating voltage is fixed while scanning the magnetic field, B, and electric field, E, simultaneously, so as to maintain the quantity B[1-(E/E0)]1/2/E at a constant value. This linked scan records a constant neutral mass loss (or gain) spectrum of dissociation or other reactions occurring in a field free region preceding the two sectors. E0 is the electric field required to transmit the singly charged analog of the desired neutral fragment. The term B[1-(E/E0)]1/2/E linked scan.
